Air—"  Dixie's  Land." 


Hear  ye  not  the  sound  of  battle. 
Sabres'  clash  and  muskets  rattle; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
Hostile  footsteps  on  your  border, 
Hostile  columns  march  in  order; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
Chorus— Oh  flv  to  arms  in  Dixie! 


To 


To 


From  Dixie's  land,  we'll  drive  the  band, 
That  comes  to  conquer  Dixie  ! 

To  arms  !  To  arms  ! 
And  drive  the  foe  from  Dixie  ! 

See  the  red  smoke  hanging  o'er  us. 
Hear  the  cannons'  booming  chorus. 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
See  the  Southern  columns  forming. 
See  each  heart  with  valor  warming  ; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
Chorus — Then  fly  to  arms,  &c. 

All  the  Northern  forces  coming. 
Hear  the  distant  rapid  dramming  : 
Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
Prouder  ranks  were  backward  driven. 
When  our  English  bonds  were  riven  ; 
Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
Chorus— Then  fly  to  arms,  &c. 

Gird  your  loins  with  flashing  sabre, 
(Jive  your  lives  to  Freedom's  labor; 
Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
What  though  every  hearth  be  saddened. 
What  though  all  the  land  be  reddened  ; 
Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
Chorus-  -Then  fly  to  arms,  &c. 

Shall  this  boasting  mad  invader. 
Trample  Dixie  and  degrade  her  ; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
Hy  our  father's  proud  example, 
Southern  soil  they  shall  not  trample  ; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
Ciiori's — Thou  fly  to  arms,  &c. 

Southrons  meet  them  on  the  border, 
Drive  them  into  wild  disorder  ; 

Awake,  nwake.  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
Strike  the  Vandals  down  before  you, 
'Till  the  last  inch  they  restore  you ; 
Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
Chorus — Then  fly  to  arms,  &c. 

At  the  Northmen's  threatened  halter, 
Southern  seamen  scorn  to  falter  ; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie! 
Southern  heart-strings  sternly  tightened, 
At  such  shadows  are  uot  frightened  ; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  in  Dixie  ! 
Chorus — Then  fly  to  arms,  &c. 

'Mong  the  hills,  wild  echoes  flying, 
Hear  the  Southern  bugles  crying  ; 

Awake,  awake,  awake  iti   Dixie! 
Spring  from  every  hill  and  valley, 
Hark  the  summons  !     Hally  !  rally  ! 

Awake,  awai.'".  ;; ;;;. .'; "  in   Dixie  '
